marauders htndy drawing!!! woo!

im also pushing my james with hoop earrings agenda even tho this wasn't smth in the fic (it will be soon im working on chapt 36)

first time drawing peter so i hope he doesn't look too awkward, the pose ref i used for him was skinny so i was struggling a bit of adjusting it with how my drawing process works when i use refs lol

also sirius' arm cast is on the other side just cuz i attempted to draw it but i wanted you to be able to see the doodles all over it so i decided to just draw him in a different pose later with it

i also wanted to draw james' enamel pin but because of hes facing you cant see it 🥲 mb ill draw the two of them together so you can see both details

i also keep forgetting that i gave moony curly hair in the fic and so i redrew his hair like 20 times since my usual remus design has wavy hair

also a fun detail about my drawings is that when i do names or nicknames above characters i try to write it in what i think their handwriting would look like lol

to be so for real i think a lot of people especially in progressive spaces are just rude and ignorant about witchcraft being a valid religion. like it might seem like make believe and woo woo shit to you and YEAH there's countless issues with cultural appropriation and bioessentialism within the witch community but like. man cmon that's every religion. like sorry you're a raised-vaguely-christian-and-now-atheist asshole but making fun of someone's religion that most likely pulled them out of a dark place and now currently enhances their life is not the political praxis you think it is. it just makes you pathetic and annoying. also there's a lot more to witchcraft than the shit you see online like pinterest spells and witchtok. like it's a legit religion to countless people that has many deep and nuanced practices, beliefs, and guidelines that you obviously don't know about.

Buddy Dawn was truly such a little guy to me. I felt the same way about him as I did about freshman year Kristen lol like you're just a gay kid from a stifling religious upbringing. You tried to get the Rat Grinders to join your prayer chain huh.

What about the crew members?

I cannot get over this line from the black trailer for a few reasons:

1. This is a world where there's fully functional soldier robots and AI. Why is the train manned by people in the first place? Jacques clearly motivated by money, so the less people he has to pay the better

2. We never see these supposed crew members, so there's no chance of having a visceral reaction to either their safety or demise. The only SDC workers we ever see iirc are the ones from the Adam short who smirk after throwing a smoke bomb. If we were meant to sympathize with them, it would've been better to make them shaking and scared because they're maintenance engineers instead of security (because having two types of security is expensive and stupid)

3. The SDC is enslaving and branding people, and everyone not fighting it is complicit. Blake has rescued Faunus from literal cages in SDC factories and has seen Adam's face, so she knows this intimately. Why does she care if a few accessories to slavery get blown up? Does she care more for complacent humans than suffering Faunus?

What about the crew members? Fuck em, that's what

my least favourite thing is when I'm in an environment where everyone's really funny and crass and grotesque and willing to say anything, and I feel really good and comfy and like they're the same as me, and then people will turn around and apologise to me as if I'm some sort of Catholic schoolgirl

Rant timeeee.

Theres nothing more insulting than someone assuming you have low standards…like why do men punch above their weight SO BADLY??? I want and am gonna get a man thats a hardworking, educated, comes frm a good family & one thats kind and generous. Yet these dudes think they can not be educated, make money, or provide anything but d and I’ll want them

[toenzy]

People in the public eye speaking about these sorts of things can be so helpful, and it’s pretty brave of Dele Alli to be so open. Good lad.

writing down some of my other thoughts for now until i get the time to draw lol:

i guess this is actually a lok au more than an atla au? i have been thinking of it with lok level technology.

most of everyone is based in the united republic/republic city. want to keep the vibe of miraculous ladybug still, which is based mostly in very urban paris.

gabriel is still a fashion designer and adrien is famous for modeling with little advertisements in the papers around the city. i think he's still republic city's sweetheart or something along those lines. maybe he or his mom are in one of the first 'movers'. so still keeping his same level of fame lol.

gabriel does a collaboration with the tsurugi company which are based in the fn to make what in lok are those electricified gloves, etc. so kagami is fire nation in my head :) and adrien and kagami have known each other for awhile.

emilie is in some sort of spiritual coma bc she made a deal to have adrien. gabriel has done a crazy amount of research to try and heal emilie - which is where the bloodbending comes from. it... doesn't work. he's desperate, until he finds evidence suggesting that if you combined the power of raava and vaatu you have the power to shape reality...

in my head, marinette and adrien both discover being the avatar a little younger than 16. marinette doesn't plan to keep it a secret forever, but she's insecure and wants to get a handle on what being the avatar means for her free of judgment before it encroaches on her daily life. she's unsure why she's even the avatar - but words from alya when they first meet echo in her mind. she can't sit by and do nothing just because she's scared. meanwhile, adrien knows if his dad figures out he's the avatar, he really WILL never be able to leave the house - and he'll probably become some sort of ceremonial figurehead than any true avatar. i don't think adrien ever plans going public with his identity, though he really wants to tell ladybug.

they slowly discover many of the weird things about the city they've been uncovering have ties to a bloodbender searching for them... and they have to be really careful! i imagine the vibe being a mystery for avatar ladybug and cat noir to slowly solve.

meanwhile, ladybug and cat noir both need teachers. they can teach each other their respective elements, but they don't have air or earth. i think they ask their friends to teach them in the mask, and if alya and nino want to participate in any vigilantism, they take up the identity of rena rouge and carapace. they ultimately become team avatar.

[ID copied from alt text: Digital drawing of the characters Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste drawn in both their civilian and superhero forms to fit in the Avatar universe. The text labels Marinette as "Avatar Ladybug; Raava" and Adrien as "Avatar Cat Noir; Vaatu." The rest of the text is in a list that says, "Avatars are meant to be partners that balance each other as well as bring balance to the world. Both live in Republic City. Keep being the Avatar a secret in their civilian lives - becomes necessary as the prolific bloodbender Hawkmoth makes his way thru the city trying to capture both Avatars. Marinette's originally fire, Adrien is originally water. Alya teaches Marinette airbending, Nino teaches Adrien earth. Marinette's prev. reincarnation in the cycle was Master Fu, Adrien's was Marianne Lenoir." End ID]

made an au where the avatar chars were in the miraculous universe. now i have done the opposite. o7

Another weird little lore drop re that odd year where we had a stupid amount of money: my dad had like a weird amount of control over what went into the animated series he worked on (also my mum was a writer for it and her writing is far better than his animating tbh!!!) But like bc he had so much control over what happened in the show, anytime the TV in the background was playing and they needed to have a visual on it my dad would just get my brother and I to draw pictures and he'd animate them and slap them on the TV. So there's all these scenes in this adultswim-rip-off esque australian cartoon series where everyone will be talking about sex and then in the background there's just this abstract surrealist crayon drawing of a foot stomping a dinosaur or some shit

[driftwooddestiel]
